Sex, likes and social media

talking to our teens in the digital age
Today's teenagers are the first generation to go through adolescence online. The internet, social media and free online pornography have dramatically altered how young people interact with each other and learn about sex, yet parents have been offered little information about the new dating landscape. This book aims to fill that gap. Through their professional work with young people, their parents and teachers - and their experiences with their own children - authors Deana Puccio and Allison Havey know what makes today's teenagers tick. In this book, they share their experience and show you how to have positive, meaningful conversations with your teenage children around sex, social media, pornography, body image, consent and safety.
